Not even close to anything like a trailer park. I couldn't live that close to you anyways. :P

---- grass. :P Sewer rates out here are crazy expensive so watering grass would be like picking up a heroin addiction, if not more expensive.

I'm not sure of ANY of the details. I just got the phone call a few hours ago and jumped on the phone with the realtor to look at a house. Kinda small though. 980sq ft is kinda tight IMO. We're planning on making an offer on a house tomorrow and we'll see what happens. The realtor said we could be living in it in 28 days.

Asking price is $166k. We're approved for $189k, but I dunno if I want to go that high. It's only a 2 bed-2 bath so it's not THAT small for 980sq, but yeah.....

I don't know if I want an older/bigger house because it costs a fortune to cool down in the summer out here.

beats the hell out of heating a house all winter, have you looked at the price of heating oil? my grandparents own an oil company and oil is wholesaling over $3 gallon

166k for a <1000SQFT house seems steep, but if its in a nice area its better then a 2K sqft in a ---- area of town.

What the ---- are you doing bidding on a house you don't even like? Are you stupid? Go find something you like because who knows what is going on with the real estate market now-a-days and how long it will take to stabilize. You may have to sit on a house you don't like that much for 5-10 years and even if that isn't an issue, moving is expensive and sucks dick. Go find a house you really like. It may take you seeing 10-15 houses a weekend, but why go into a massive amount of debt for a house you kind of like? Don't be ------- retarded and rush this decision.

We don't even need a heater out here. :P We use the heater maybe a month or 2 a year at the most. They don't have oil heaters out here anyways. It's either gas or electric. The summer is when you use the A/C and it runs like all day long. It's a really nice area and it's quiet. No drugees or tweekers or meth labs around.

We haven't put a bid on it *yet*. We're going to look at 6 other houses tomorrow to see if we can find something we like more. We've been looking at quite a few houses, but the one we looked at yesterday is cheap, in a good neighborhood and is clean. We definitely like it, it's just the size of it that scares me.
